It's a grand hotel and my second stay. Perfect location for Buxton town centre. The Breakfasts are good.The hotel does need some TLC. The bathroom sink was cracked but we were only there for one night.

We were very impressed with our room which was very clean and looked freshly reburbished. The hotel itself was also clean and fresh with very helpful and friendly staff. A stones throw from restaurants and the theatre so convenient location. Would recommend to others.

Bring earplugs and noise cancelling headphones, if your window is near the hotels ventilation system it will be very loud 24/7. Otherwise the hotel has a beautiful exterior and communal interior areas for the cheap price.

Stayed here for 2 nights. The hotel was in a great location, close to everything , the train station is next door too. It's a good base for travelling around the peak district . The hotel was clean , the staff were friendly and helpful. We didn't eat at the hotel so can't comment on the food. Id recommend staying here.

Have stayed at Palace before and had a larger room at the front which was nicer. The room was clean and tidy nonetheless with all one would expect. Paying extra for onsite parking is a nuisance but am aware of it now. Very nice character building to stay in with great access to local amenities.

enjoyable, spotlessly clean, faded grandeur we visited for a concert & weren’t sure what to expect of the hotel exceeded expectations! The towels, toiletries & shower were all as good as more expensive place. Impossible for a big hotel of this age to compete with the new builds. It was comfortable, certainly met our needs & staff all went above & beyond

The hotel was handy for Buxton town. Room was ok, bathroom set in the eaves so insufficient height for the shower if you're tall. Separate toilet also in eaves only really suited to a smaller adult! Tried the pool and gym area but again only ok. Reception area good as plenty of spaces to sit. Would I stay here again, probably not.

We stayed for £99 a night in a small room with a double bed: Pros: - Large Bathroom - TV - Staff Service - £5 Parking - Lobby - Good Location - Novelty Cons: - Spiderwebs on ceiling - Very Very Stiff bed - Compact room - £99 was steep for the room quality - Parking is cramped and difficult to get a spot if late The bed really dropped my experience of this otherwise nice hotel 2.9/5
